Black Swan has completely captured my mind. Not only the beautiful costumes designed and made by one of my favourite design houses- Rodarte, but the conceptualization of the movie also. The notion of a girl, suppressed and unhappy, breaking free from the constraints of her own mind is one that really sparked my imagination. The movie is so beautiful to watch,very uncomfortable, raw and honest.

I have completely fallen for this woman's work. I urge anyone to take a look at her website and be drawn into her pictures, which you cannot fail to do. Her work has an air of theatricality about it, which is probably why I am so taken with it. I feel that this shoot portrays the style and air of the 1920's era perfectly. I am inspired.

A nineteen year old girl who has an interest in art, theatre, photography and all things vintage. I was born in the wrong era, hence I spend most of my time looking to the past. I am currently studying Art History at University. An unfortunate characteristic of being incapable of coping with decision making meant that it took me long enough to choose one, but I got there in the end. I want to design a dress for Florence and my dearest ambition is to meet Tim Walker. If I achieve either of these two things in my lifetime I will die a very happy girl.

This blog is mainly for my benefit, a place to keep track of the inspiration and artists that I come across on my travels over the internet, city, country and very occasional the world. However if anyone other than myself ever happens to read this then hi, you are most welcome here, and I do hope that you find something that inspires you as much as it did me.
